Definitely Got My Attention

Laura was driving Roy and me to Story time at the Westerville library. Yes, I was a passenger for a change. I saw the red corvette emblazoned with State Highway Patrol Laura with her younger eyes read the smaller white lettering (which is blurry in photos and blurry to my eyes ) that the vehicle was seized due to multiple DUIs (Driving Under Influence).

Here’s an article about how the vehicle is used

Aerial Photography at the Car Show Monday Night

Aunt Linda and Aunt Marlene are in production, baking for their niece’s wedding this Saturday.  But that will be a separate post.

I took the alphabet message and shape cookie cutters up to West Mifflin Monday night.  (They still had the Laura and James names in place inside the heart shape- sweet memories)

Uncle Frank and Uncle Donald (Mark’s FIL) went upstreet to the West Mifflin Social Club where Uncle Frank was showing his two spectacular vehicles along with some other car aficionados.

Uncle Frank's Car  and TruckYou may have seen Uncle Frank and Aunt Linda when he went to pick up the bride for a wedding post 

 

 

And while we were there I met Dave who photographs cars and prints the images on T -shirts and who does Aerial Photography with his JDI helicopter-like drone camera system. WOW. You can’t go higher than 400 feet and you have to take it slow.

Dave explains his display of a big show.  Tonight’s show was small cause people were worried it might rain.

 

our photo by a droneDave was generous and took my photo with Donald.  I think Donald was planning on adding a JDI hover drone camera to his wish list.  Looks like a serious toy.

And another post about Uncle Frank and his 1955 Ford Pick-Up.

Check out that wooden truck bed   More than 2500 people looked at it in March.

Classic Cars – Grand Parade- Kick Off St. Raphael’s Bazaar

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

A police car. The Bomb Squad.  A trolley.  About 8 classic cars.  Catch some candy and Mardi Gras beads.  The Boy Scouts marched,  then a Bagpipe and Drum group, the Morningside Cheerleaders.

We had a lot of fun watching the parade in the Morningside neighborhood, not too far from home.

We went to the festival and the man in the information booth was a colleague from the first school I taught in the city -1989.  Small world.  We had a lot of fun and the grandkids loved the spin art and crafts in the Kid Zone.  They loved jumping the bouncy house.

On the way home we drove to Giant Eagle and got ice cream and cones to eat at home. Fresh berries.  Summer!
